1933-1936 Packard Super Eight

The 1933-1936 Packard Super Eight was a big, strong, beefy Classic. It shared much of the mighty Twelve's chassis and body componentry through 1936, after which it was reduced to a much smaller, lighter, and more modern design. Gradually outdistanced by the Twelve in price, the Super Eight thus falls in a grey area among collectors.

At the time, Packard increasingly concentrated on the medium-priced field exploited by the One Twenty. Individual customs were offered in 1933-1934; wheelbases shrank in 1935 as Packard consolidated its senior models, although the LeBaron-built all-weather cabriolet was continued.
